Chris' Surprise 50th Birthday Party

After planning for a month or so, I think we pulled off the surprise birthday party for Michael's dad. I think he was really surprised! Unfortunately, Michael's grandpa and uncle were unable to make it today due to other circumstances, but they were here with us in spirit. All the food turned out great and everyone had a good time celebrating with us. Thanks to everyone who helped make things go so smoothly!


The guys on look out for Chris.


Addie got my picture, but I got her back.


All of the family and friends waiting for Chris to walk in the house.

Like father like daughter; too bad Lexi didn't know what she was looking for until he walked in the house.


Chris came into the house on his phone saying, "I don't think we are baking cookies."


Chris using Jake's gift of the cane and bell; it was a hit for the night.


Some of the desserts.


Addie sneaking in a lick.


Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Chris Happy Birthday to you!


He surprised us all by helping pick up after dinner and dessert.


The best gift of the night, a toilet/cooler to use while fishing.


Some of the guys, kind of watching Chris open gifts.
